I just came across a guy selling a motor out of a 2000 cx, no ps or ac. Im pretty sure its a straight drop in but just wanted to make sure so i wont run into problems during the installation. The new motor has only 13 000kms on it (i know it does sound a bit unbelievable) and hes asking 1000 obo, comes with axles, tranny and full exhaust. If i also do a compression test what kind of compression should i be expecting? Any advice welcome

 

that D series will drop right in, but you will have some wiring to do in order to make the OBD2 sensors co-operate with the OBD1 ECU, or simply upgrade to OBD2 by adding a few wires.

just look for even numbers across the board for compression - every gauge will read slightly differently.

 

my car is a 97, so its obd2 isnt it?

 

yeah it's totally the same engine - what's your question then??

I thought you had a 5th gen.

 

jus wondering if theres small differances in wiring but i assume not, it has no ps or ac, mine doesnt either. Thanks

 

totally bolt for bolt they are equal

 

thanks for the quick response

 

there is a difference obd2 a and obd2b

what year is your car , the wiring is different - 96-98 -99-00

 

he said the car was a 97

 

OBD2b wiring was implemented in the 2001 model year for the engine. The diff in wiring for the 96-98 and 99-00 models is in the heater control panel, which doesn't even affect him.

 

hwo the hell do you know 'EVERYTHING'?!? heheh

u reading honda manual for fun or something?

 

actually I do read repair manuals for fun... I don't buy magazines anymore cuz I'd rather read repair manuals instead of having my head filled with marketing bullshit.

 

if there's a limit to how much car stuff a brain can hold bbarbulo's bound and determined to find it...

 

*Note to self, starting reading repair manuals..

I can't stand most auto magazine either.. All a marketing scam to spazz your brain out.. Like seeing a 700HP H22 Turbo civic.. I was omg, I gotta do that!! Only thing they don't tell you is that it'll take like $$$$$$ to get there. bastards..
